As said, a Fine condition for a later made dagger. I would say that it is likely an unissued piece and what handling wear it Does have has been accrued from 7 decades of handling by the post-war new owners.

Thanks for all the comments and opinions. I am very interested in this piece so I would like to ask for some advice on what would be a fair price, taking in consideration its condition. I had not received any negative feedback regarding this dagger been a reproduction from you guys based on the pics I posted so that makes me more interested
Thanks for time guys and I would love to hear Larry C opinion on it. I had read many of his interesting post but since I just registered I am not allow to send pm s yet.
Thank you all again

Hi Cabezargento..thank you for your thoughts. The comments made above by a few of our seasoned collectors have the same thoughts as myself..in which Member Gerrit has provided an excellent link of one from his collection.

A Late Great Dagger . Rare to see a 1941 dated SA Dagger in this condition as mentioned above. Thanks for sharing and adding to the Community of Study. Regards Larry

But, aluminum as material does not corrode in standard way - instead of that he has a crystal disease. (examples of these type of aluminum corrosion can be seen on many DAK overseas caps)
This SA eagle has a yellow green patina - standard for solid-nickle materials.
